Noyce also holds a joint appointment in the department of industrial and systems engineering at UW-Madison. Noyce received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in civil and environmental engineering from UW-Madison in 1984 and 1995, respectively, and received his Ph.D. degree in Civil (Transportation) Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1999. Noyce is a registered professional engineer in the state of Wisconsin and has over 39 years of experience in transportation engineering including appointments in state government, industry and academia.

DNoyce leads the Wisconsin Transportation Center and the Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) Laboratory. His research focuses on transportation safety and traffic operations, specifically at complex intersections. He was the lead researcher in the development and implementation of the flashing yellow arrow (FYA) permissive left-turn traffic signal indication that led to significant improvements in the safety and operations of this critical intersection movement. He is conducting research in the areas of connected and automated vehicles including several automated vehicles employed in Wisconsin. Noyce continues to conduct research in the areas of human factors and driver safety using a full-scale driving simulator, including collaborative partnerships in University Transportation Centers (UTC).
